DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2026 NFL Draft: Day 2

Ingram is the best they could do for Ravens representation? Played all of 2 years there? Granted it is a short list of former Ravens players who can read off a cue card
 
OG: Pregnon,
C: Lew
WR: Branch, Brazzell, C. Bell, S. Bell, Sarrett, Fields,
TE: Raridon (I think he is best TE available personally) Delp Joly
RB: Washington (looking interesting now... Still want Eli Heidenreich though... this doesn't change that though)
I did not predict Pregnon lasting this long. He might just be the best available option to reinforce our OL if he gets to our pick at #95.

With a round 3 pick, I'm comfortable investing into a top rated IOL.
 
Lol can they just let ingram announce every pick
 


 
In fairness, Gronk might be the single greatest TE of all time. It is unfair to compare any rookie to him. I just meant compared to all the other TE's in this draft class, Raridon is the best combination of size, speed, hands, and blocking ability. He's a much stronger blocker than you're giving him credit for.
I wouldn't mind Raridon or Joly at #95. A good TE might still slip to us.
 
I think it is unlikely anyone is there at 95 I feel we need to pound the table for. I would not be surprised for a trade down. I doubt anyone overly exciting will be there.
This is actually a far better class than many claim. It has a deep middle class. There will be many solid contributor types found even as late as the 6th round. When many so-called expertes criticize the draft, they do so based on their opinion of 1) how many High End Top 10 sure fire All Pros and 2) How many great QB prospects there are.

Most of these commentators lack an intelligent understanding of football and only see the game through a shallow view based on fantasy football.

This is a decent draft class

Oh i agree. I was saying that because there is a deep middle and I simply don't expect the 95th player to be much worse than the 150th in this draft. But maybe i'm wrong. Looking like someone interesting will fall possibly.
 
There goes Orange to the Vikings. They've helped solidify the middle of their defensive front with him and Golday.
 
Ja'Kobi Lane to the Ravens (another reach at WR).

Albert Regis to the Jags.
There were better WRs on the board IMO. Isn't just a fit thing. Just plain better options. I don't know what they saw honestly.
